Community Inclusion in Colorado
Landing Page
What is Community Inclusion?
The Community Inclusion in Colorado maps (CICOmaps) were created by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and University of Colorado Assistive Technology Partners to enhance current emergency preparedness and response planning and resources by making location-based community information easy-to-access. The maps include community demographics and functional characteristics at the census-track (sub-county) level. They include the locations, service areas, and phone numbers of community providers and health care facilities.
CDPHE acknowledges that generations-long social, economic, and environmental inequities result in adverse health outcomes. They affect communities differently and have a greater influence on health outcomes than either individual choices or one’s ability to access health care. Reducing health disparities through policies, practices, and organizational systems can help improve opportunities for all Coloradans.

Development 

Community Inclusion 

Vulnerable Populations Community Inclusion
The label “vulnerable,” when applied to a population or community group is disempowering; it implies a weakness that nothing can change. There is no advantage to this approach when we need the whole community to contribute to emergency preparedness and response. A more resilient approach includes all people as experts in knowing how to best meet their own needs. Community inclusion instead of vulnerable populations.
Community Inclusion
A “vulnerable” system, on the other hand, can be changed. Protecting health, safety, and independence must be an interaction between what our emergency systems can support and what people can do for themselves. While there are still needs still unmet by that interaction, everyone has a part in helping to bridge that gap.
The data in these maps aims to help identify possible needs and sources of expertise or resources. Preparedness should always build on the successes and strengths already at work. These maps are not the end; they are a catalyst for more inclusive emergency preparedness and response.

A National Promising Practice

In October 2014, the Community Inclusion in Colorado mapping project was selected by FEMA and ADA National Network as a promising practice for Emergency Management Inclusive of People with Disabilities. The CICO team presented a national webinar on March 12, 2015, describing the development, partnerships, and applications of this project as a possible model for other states or regions to replicate and to enhance the use of community data in their preparedness and response. The CICOmaps were also featured as a poster presentation at the 2015 NACCHO Preparedness Summit in Atlanta, GA and introduced to Emergency Managers at the Colorado Emergency Management Academy.

Partner Participation in CICOmaps Development

Partners representing many disciplines and jurisdictions in Colorado informed the selection of indicators and the development of these maps through their feedback. Early iterations of the general and disability indicators were shared with local emergency managers, regional public health emergency preparedness and response staff, widespread disaster behavioral health partners and disabilities entities for their suggestions about the appropriateness of the indicators and how the information could be used.
Their insights supported foundational language change from “Community Vulnerability” to “Community Inclusion.” We learned that mobile homes may represent an at-risk housing structure on the east side of Colorado, but on the west side of Colorado, mobile homes can be more structurally sound than other houses.

Most importantly, sharing our work with other partners helped us discover the complementary work of other groups. Due to a conversation catalyzed by a presentation at Colorado’s Integrated Emergency Management Conference, CDPHE began collaborating with the State Independent Living Council and the University of Colorado’s Assistive Technology Partners to incorporate mapping layers of the community resources and service providers who support different Colorado communities.

It is the hope that a wide-range of emergency and community partners can find ways to use and complement this information. Some of those ways we will not have yet considered but will further the work that is done to engage communities about their needs and resources in disasters

CMIST

Access and Functional Needs
“Access and Functional Needs” is a term and framework that is helping to promote inclusive emergency preparedness and response. Instead of identifying vulnerable groups, the access and functional needs approach suggests that there are functions and access that everyone needs in emergencies, regardless of who we are. We should build our systems to support everyone achieve these functions and access.

CMIST
The CMIST acronym offers a broad set of common, cross-cutting, function-based and access-based needs irrespective of specific diagnoses, statuses, or labels. Those functions are:

• C - Communication 
• M - Maintaining Health 
• I - Independence 
• S - Support/Services/Self-Determination 
• T - Transportation

Read more about CMIST framework: Moving beyond “special needs” A function-based framework for emergency management and planning via The Journal of Disability Policy Studies.

Additionally, Isolation and Economics are two influencers that impact all 5 of the CMIST functions.

Research and Data Availability 

Since CDPHE began mapping data for community inclusion in emergency preparedness, new research and data that support these initiatives has become available.

In 2011, researchers from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) published an article in the Journal of Homeland Security and Emergency Management titled “A Social Vulnerability Index for Disaster Management. [ Flanagan, Barry E.; Gregory, Edward W.; Hallisey, Elaine J.; Heitgerd, Janet L.; and Lewis, Brian (2011) "A Social Vulnerability Index for Disaster Management," Journal of Homeland Security and Emergency Management: Vol. 8: Iss. 1, Article 3.]. The article argued that “effectively addressing social vulnerability decreases both human suffering and the economic loss related to providing social services and public assistance after a disaster” and identified 15 Census variables for an index of this need from the areas of:

Socio-economic status

Household composition/disability

Minority Status/Language

Housing/Transportation

The indicators used in the Community Inclusion in Colorado mapping project comprise these same variables or new variables that identify similar needs.  SVI research also helped to guide the development of the Colorado Community Inclusion Regional Opportunity Index.

The American Community Survey continues to expand the indicators it collects each year, and many of them complement CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index. For example, 2012 was the first time that 5-year estimates were available for the disabilities areas incorporated in this project.

Research and information availability continues to make community inclusion in emergency management more viable and better supported. 
Cultural Shifts
In December 2011, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) published “A Whole Community Approach to Emergency Management: Principles, Themes and Pathways to Action.” This document represented a major culture change for FEMA: “We fully recognize that a government-centric approach to emergency management is not enough to meet the challenges posed by a catastrophic incident.” Engagement and empowerment of local individuals, families and communities (as “the nation’s most important assets as first responders during a disaster”) and incorporating the composition of the community as well as individual needs of community members (“regardless of age, economics, or accessibility requirements”) into emergency planning and systems became two foundational principles of national emergency management work.
This culture is influencing other emergency management partners. Collectively, energy is building for work that strengthens what works well for communities on a daily basis; includes greater representation and expertise from all communities in emergency preparedness, and integrates the “Access and Functional Needs” of community members into disaster strategies.
This is a movement away from “special needs,” or “vulnerable populations” language that frames communities as at-risk without considering their natural resilience and expertise in finding solutions to their needs. The approach is constructive for emergency response agencies in two ways. 1. Demographics are hard to change, but needs can be met by adaptive, inclusive systems. Vulnerability is where there are ongoing gaps between the community and the systems that serve them. 2. All people may experience functional needs during disasters, whether due to daily characteristics or due to situations caused by the disaster. Planning for needs and embracing the resources of the community helps emergency systems do their work more efficiently and (cost) effectively
“When the community is engaged in an authentic dialogue, it becomes empowered to identify its needs and the existing resources that may be used to address them. Collectively, we can determine the best ways to organize and strengthen community assets, capacities, and interests.” FEMA: A Whole Community Approach to Emergency Management: Principles, Themes and Pathways to Action.
Historical Maps
Between 2006-2008, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) used the 2000 Census and statistics from the Colorado Demographers office to begin mapping characteristics within Colorado communities to inform emergency planning. A map series was crafted on the demographic information from the Census; the maps also contained layers of a few resources such as hospitals and medical offices. These historical maps helped to guide the development of the interactive Colorado Community Inclusion maps when the technology was available.

Applications
Using the Maps and Data
Maps and Data can be used For:
Planning: hazard vulnerability analysis, communication strategies, prioritizing and distributing healthcare assets, grant proposals based on community needs.
Partner Outreach: community organizations, service providers, community leaders.
Capacity Building: Contact information for new providers, services to be preserved or trained to better serve the impacted community, other resources.
Response: evacuation triggers, activation level, resource ordering based on situational awareness of community groups in the impact area.
Preparedness
State Public Health Grant Activities
The Community Inclusion in Colorado maps have been incorporated into Local Public Health and Healthcare Coalition grant activities. Grantees were trained how to navigate the CICO maps and tasked to complete activities that promoted local and regional people-centered emergency preparedness and response, like those described below: 
Identify (or add to past identification) 3 different populations in your region or county to include in your emergency operations plan.
•	Planners use CICo Maps’ data to inform organizational and regional Hazard Vulnerability Assessments.
•	Healthcare coalitions use CICo Maps to inform their preparation for the needs of diverse individuals and populations in their communities in the event of a public health emergency.
•	Planners use CICo Maps to inform short-term and long-term priorities in community recovery by consulting data and community partners suggested by mapped information.
•	Planners use CICo Maps re: sensory, cognitive, education and non-English speaking characteristics to inform public information strategies and communication resource needs.
•	Planners use CICo maps to inform prioritization of healthcare assets and essential services within a healthcare delivery area or region and to address gaps.
•	Planners use CICo Maps to inform planning for types of medications, durable medical equipment or consumable medical supplies needed for functional needs, the staff to manage these materials and the functional resources needed to provide access and functionality in dispensing sites.
•	Planners use CICo maps to identify locations of healthcare facilities, which may serve as family assistance centers, alternate locations or expansion of services.
•	Planners use CICo Maps for situational awareness of community characteristics in changing incident footprint and to inform incident action planning.
•	Epidemiologists use CICo Maps to help visually identify groups that may be at risk given the geographic location of an outbreak.
 
CMS/ASPR Durable Medical Equipment claims
The CICO team is incorporating data about electrically-dependent durable medical equipment (DME) into their StoryMaps. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response in the Federal Dept. of Health and Human Services have compiled monthly totals of Medicare beneficiaries with electricity-dependent equipment claims. These datasets have been provided at zipcode, county and territory levels, and broken down by type of DME for each state’s public health preparedness authority.
With the help of this data, planners and responders of all types can all better anticipate potential access and functional needs, plan for resources and partnerships with equipment providers and power companies, and assist our community members before, during, and after an emergency.
Response
Information about our communities can inform response decision-making and strategies. Community characteristics like high population density or more people with mobility difficulty may prompt emergency managers to trigger evacuation orders more quickly if a disaster event is moving into the area. A community where greater numbers of people don’t have access to their own car might prompt the ordering of more transportation resources.
Case Study
Responders at CDPHE were on watch for an E-coli outbreak in a municipality that had its own water district. While awaiting the 2nd confirmatory test, the map with information about non-English speaking groups revealed that there were three major non-English languages used by community members in that municipality. Though the test came back negative and response was not required, community resources who could translate a “Boil Water Notification” into those languages were identified to share with the municipal authority. Practices like this could help health-saving messages reach non-English speaking populations more quickly in the event of a public health crisis.
Full Scale Exercise
The following document(s) were created to help guide community inclusion during the 2016-2017 exercise.  The CICOmaps are a key resource and brainstorming tool for injects and evaluation development.
•	Guidance Document
•	Community Inclusion Injects
•	Evaluation Questions
Recovery/Resilience 
Framework
The Community Inclusion in Colorado maps were incorporated into the State of Colorado’s Resiliency Framework. “The Framework represents Colorado's long-term commitment and investment into a resilient future. The framework also represents a call to action and partnership, as it will require the efforts of the whole Colorado community to make a resilient future a reality.” The CICOmaps are highlighted in the Health and Social Sector as a resource that “would enable State, local, and community partners to better design resiliency activities with the unique characteristics of a population in mind.”
Mapping Changes over Time
Following the 2010 Census, it is possible to get a new, current picture of the demographics in Colorado. With comparative data across ten years from some community indicators, CDPHE has created a map to analyze how community characteristics have changed in size and location over time. Though changing formats in the Census means the results must be taken with caution in some cases, the comparison of different decades provides a deeper profile of populations that can enhance identification of hazard vulnerability, partnership building, and allocation of resources in Colorado across all phases of a disaster.

In their current form, the Community Inclusion in Colorado maps allow users to visualize and identify geographic relationships and variability among data representing functional and socio-demographic characteristics, coverage and locations of select service providers, and select health facility locations, across the state of Colorado. In the future, an analysis is planned that will use these data layers to identify areas in which there is high diversity demographically and less coverage by health and community providers.
